Greco Campania 2009
As the name suggests, Greco di Tufo wine is likely of Greek origin and is very popular in the taverns and restaurants of Naples. The d'Antiche Terre is a dry, crisp medium-bodied wine that is an ideal aperitif. Fruity aromas of green apple, peach and pineapple make it a must to celebrate a warm spring day or evening. It has great texture, balance and length with flavors of white peach, plantain, nectarine and lime pith.
Ripe green apple, pineapple, yellow plum and raw hazelnut.
d'Antiche Terre is the vision of Gaetano Ciccarella, who wanted to make wine as it was made in his native Campania 2,000 years ago when Virgil and Pliny exalted the wines of the region. Located on the volcanic hills of the Tufo area in the mountainous terrain of Avellino, the vines are cultivated at an altitude of about 450-500 meters above sea level where cooler temperatures allow grapes to ripen without losing acidity. Only eight villages can legally claim to make Greco di Tufo: Tufo, Montefusco, Petruro Irpino, Chianche, Torrioni, Altavilla, Irpina and Prata di Principato Ultra.
Uncork this wine as an aperitif or serve with summer salads, shellfish or creamy pasta dishes. You can't go wrong with my Marinated Salmon with Fennel Salad.
The first written reference to Greco di Tuffo wine comes from telling fresco in Pompeii dating to the first century AD. The inscription reads, "You are cold, truly a piece of ice, even the Greco wine could not warm your heart last night." Pompei disappeared under a Mount Vesuvius eruption 79 AD and was lost for 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599.
